In reply to WaterMonkey: Hi, I had a repair for a 'massive' tear in my infraspinatus on 5th September- think it was just under 6cm and 'close to be unrepairable'.
I have not done my physio three times a day as I was warned about overdoing it and the importance of time as a healer-I have done it every day though.
Been to wall twice-still a bit wary but led routes up to 6a+. I am not planning on going regularly for a few more weeks, I don't have full freedom of movement and think it would be easy to tweak it swinging around on big holds.
Physio focused on strengthening and activating rotator cuff muscles at the minute and will move on to the whole chain, whatever that is, soon. Hope to 'just climb' for a couple of months and then maybe knuckle down for some training as I do want to keep the goals I set before the injury, no real reason why that should not be possible.
Very grateful to NHS for operating in four months, may have saved my bacon.
